Introduction
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Digi-Star Grain Drill Scale System. This scale system is
specifically designed to weigh the seed hopper on a Grain Drill or other seeding hoppers. The scale kit can be
used to record and monitor seed weight going into or out of the seed hopper.
This scale system is covered by the following US patents: 6732667, 7059258 and 7273017. The single-use
license is included with this document (see page 14).

Scale Bracket and Load Cell Mounting Installation
Outer Load Cell Assembly Instructions for Dual and Single Hoppers
1. Before beginning installation, the outer hopper supports must be modified by drilling two Ø.875 holes in
each support as shown in Figure 1.
2. Assembly adaptor plates to load cells with four 3/8-24 UNF nut. Tighten 3/8-24 UNF SS Nut to 30 ft-
lbs. See Figure 2.
NOTE:
Rubber mounts should remain perpendicular to load cell bar.

1. Assemble 13" Load Cells to top and bottom middle load cell support weldment with (8) 3/8-24 UNF hex
nut. Tighten to 30 ft-lbs.
NOTE:
Rubber mounts should remain perpendicular to load cell bar.
Single Hopper Load Cell Assembly Installation
(See Figure 4)
1. On the right hopper side loosen the four 1/2" bolts that hold the seed hopper to the frame. Do not
remove hardware.
2. On the left side remove the 1/2" bolts that hold the seed hopper to the frame.
3. If possible, on the inner frame on the left side (that runs under the seed hopper) place a jack between
the frame and seed hopper. Lift the seed hopper up so that the load cell assembly can slide
underneath the hopper. It is recommended the hopper be supported by two methods when attaching
the load cells and brackets. In addition to lifting the hopper with a chain or nylon strap, the hopper
should be supported in the middle with a hydraulic jack or stands.
IMPORTANT:
The lifting chains, bucket attachments, loader/skid steer or winch must be capable of lifting and
controlling 1000 lbs.
4. Install the outer load cell and bracket assembly with 1/2 x 1.0 bolt, lock washer and flat washer between
the seed hopper and support frame. Keep the hardware loose. It may be necessary to loosen or
remove the meter drive chain.
5. Go to the right hopper side and repeat steps 2-4.
6. The seed hopper is now supported by the two outer load cells. Install the outer 5/8" x 4.0" check bolts
flat washer and 5/8" jam nut. Thread the 5/8" bolt into the lower bracket threaded hole until the check
bolts bottoms out on the main hopper support frame. Then secure with the 5/8" jam nut. The 5/8"
check rod should be centered in the top plate 7/8" diameter clearance hole. If not, loosen the (8) 1/2" x
1.0 bolts and adjust and align the top and bottom plates and retighten 1/2" x 1.0" bolts.

Dual Hopper Load Cell Assembly Installation
1. Loosen all of the right, left and middle hopper 1/2 bolts that hold the seed hopper to the frame. Do not
remove.
2. Remove the middle hopper hardware that holds the hopper to the main frame and if possible, on the
inner frame on the right and left side (that runs under the seed bin) place a jack between the frame and
seed hopper to support the middle of both hoppers. Lift the seed hopper up so that the middle load cell
assembly can slide underneath the middle. It is recommended the hopper be supported by two
methods when attaching the load cells and brackets. In addition to lifting the hopper with a chain or
nylon strap, the hopper should be supported in the middle with a hydraulic jack or stands.
IMPORTANT:
The lifting chains, bucket attachments, loader/skid steer or winch must be capable of
lifting and controlling 1000 lbs.
3. Slide the middle load cell assembly with the support weldments between the two hopper middle
mounting flanges. Secure with mounting hardware listed in Figure 5. Keep the hardware loose. It may
be necessary to loosen or remove the meter drive chain.
4. Install the outer load cell supports and follow steps listed on page 4, steps 1 - 6.
5. After all the 4 load cells are installed Install the outer 5/8" x 4.0 check bolts flat washer and 5/8 jam nut
(qty-8 on all load cell assemblies. Thread the 5/8 bolt into the lower bracket threaded hole until the
check bolts bottoms out on the main hopper support frame. Then secure with the 5/8 jam nut. The 5/8
check rods should be centered in the top plate 7/8" diameter clearance hole. If not loosen the eight 1/2
x 1.0 bolts and adjust and align the top and bottom plates and retighten 1/2 x 1.0 bolts.

Junction Box Mounting
JUNCTION BOX MOUNTING
The junction box is water resistant, not water-proof. It should be mounted to avoid submersion during wet
weather and to avoid physical abuse. The junction box can be mounted on the front or rear of the drill,
planter or seeder. All load cell cables must reach the J-Box. Install by removing the double sided tape
backing and apply to thoroughly cleaned surface.
Connect Load Cell and J-Box Cable
1. Route front and rear load cell cables to J-box
location. Make sure they are not bound or
pinched. Cable tie (customer provided) load cell
cables in place.
2. Insert load cell and J-box cables through each of
the water-tight strain-reliefs.
3. Remove each terminal block from the J-box.
4. Connect wires of the same color to the same
terminal block. See instructions below.
5. Install terminal block into the J-box as shown
(location not important).
6. Tighten nuts on the water-tight strain-reliefs.
7. Assure that gasket is properly installed in the
cover.
8. Attach cover using 4 screws (provided).
Installing Wires into Terminal Block
1. Open levers 90º to locked position.
2. Insert individual wires into terminal.
3. Close lever.
4. Tug wire to assure solid connection.
Note: Wire strip length is 7/16” (11mm).

Indicator Mounting
INDICATOR MOUNTING
The scale indicator can be mounted in the tractor cab or on the drill with swivel mounting pack (406081). Two
cables must be connected to the indicator bottom panel, J-Box and power cables. Refer to Indicator Manual
D3831-US for details of indicator mounting options and connection of power cord.
U-BOLT MOUNTING TRACTOR CAB MOUNTING
1. Bolt the readout in the cab with the bracket, or mount the bracket in the front of the lift cylinder.
2. Install power cord to a 12-volt negative ground battery.
3. Route J-box cable to indicator and install to indicator bottom panel.
4. Program indicator with the following set-up and calibration number (see Indicator manual).
4-pt (4 Load Cells) Dual Hopper set-up #114008 calibration #1532
2-pt (2 Load Cells) Single Hopper set-up #114004 calibration #778
Power Connection:
The power cable should be connected directly to a vehicle battery or regulated power supply. The scale end of
the power cable is attached to the J901 connector located on the bottom panel of the indicator.
Connect the RED wire from the power cable to +12 VDC and the BLACK wire to GROUND. The indicator is
fused internally at 4 amps.
Power Cable Connections:
Red
Black
Battery (+12 VDC)
GROUND
Load Cell Connection:
The indicator is designed to operate with strain gage load cells. The indicator will normally be supplied with a
“J-BOX” cable going between the scale and the load cell junction box.

Trouble Shooting
TROUBLE SHOOTING
How to Check the Drill Scale After Installation
For the first test, lift the drill all the way up, to a level area. Put 200-250 pounds of weight on the right side,
then compare it to the left. Both sides should be within four to six pounds of each other.
•
If the weight is not within the four to six pound range, the drive chain might be too tight or the clutch is
binding. Loosen the chain and check the weight again.
•
If loosening the chain does not fix the problem, you must remove the clutch arm, and then check the
weight on both sides.
The second test is to lift the drill to a level area and zero the scale. Lift the drill up and down two to three times,
checking to see if the scale zeros out. Each time the scale is in the up position, it should be within four to six
pounds. If not, remove the clutch arm and repeat the test. If this solves the weigh problem, the clutch is
binding or it needs lubrication.
If further assistance is necessary, please call Digi-Star, LLC at 920-563-9700.
NOTE
NOTE
: The clutch arm needs to be on the back of the clutch to work properly.
